6.5-223 lol

[M.O.A.]

well i resizeing some 6.5CM cases and happen to see a 223 case setting out not where it goes of course. but any way i was there it was there and the 6.5creedmoor die was in the press. so i said what the heck lube it up and shoved it threw and out it came so nice looking. so i had to finish it off stuck a 140gn 6.5 in it and wow its a mean looking little maybe thats for sure.

Pretty good I think. A few people have had some success with it in IHMSA competition. Here is an article and some more load data.

I have had a stevens 200 action sitting in the safe and 100 lapua cases and I was going to build a 6.5-223AI aiming to shoot the 80-100 grainers. I shoot a old swede and know the 95 vmax and 100 NBT shoot well and now their is also the 100 gr Amax, 107/108 matchking/scenar for target shooting. Figured it would make a pretty good hunting rig up to fallow/pigs/goats etc. You can get the dies from CH4D for a pretty good price and a bit of a wait. I think figured the 100's would be near 2800'sh at best.
